PCAOB Seeks Complaints Dec. 1, 2004 (Information Management Journal) The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has made it easier to submit enforcement tips and complaints via a new online form (www.pcaobus.org/tips), email (tips@ pcaobus.org), or toll-free number (800.741.3158). The new system allows individuals to easily provide information concerning any matter relating to the board and its responsibilities under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. "As the recent scandals have shown, individuals with integrity do often step up and take a stand when they see misconduct taking place," said Claudius Modesti, PCAOB director of enforcement and investigations. "We want to make sure that these individuals have an easily accessible way of reporting any information that they might have." The PCAOB said it is interested in receiving * tips on potential violations of Sarbanes-Oxley, PCAOB rules, or other applicable law by a registered public accounting firm or its associated persons * information that may be relevant to a PCAOB inspection of a registered public accounting firm * any other information that may be relevant to the PCAOB's work All information submitted will be thoroughly reviewed and evaluated so that the appropriate PCAOB office can respond and take action accordingly. Information can be provided anonymously. -- Nikki Swartz |
